Everyone loves having beautiful sun kissed skin so now that the summer months are over and your tan from your holidays is beginning to fade your left with the dilemma of applying fake tan. Everyone chooses different methods of tanning, if you are a fan of going to the salon and getting a spray tan or you’re a bit of a DIY girl and do it at home, here are the pros and cons of spray tans and self-tanners to help you decide. 

Spray Tan 

 Pros

• Your tan can last up to two weeks.

Cons

Self-Tanning

Pros

Cons

• Using self-tanners at home can leave you with streaky limbs and orange palms.
